    Summary

    “How did it go? The meeting,” Robin asks, the heavenly sound of her voice making Sanji’s heart expand in his chest.

    But being reminded of the meeting and having to think up a response makes his now expanded heart sink. It sinks so hard that Sanji falls back on his ass with the weight of it. He crosses his legs and tries to balance his empty cup of coffee on Yamato’s forehead, where the fringe has parted in two. “It was Hell,” he sighs. “They want me to get into a publicity stunt.”

    “Aow! Who’s the lucky lady?” Franky chirps and Sanji looks up and around the room at everything he has. All of it coming with a price. An awful one at that.

    “That’s the thing, actually. There won’t be any luck. And there won’t be any lady.”

    Summary

    The body of a Prince was not like anyone’s. His hand only ever held others in a firm handshake, and rarely without gloves. Sometimes he would raise the delicate hands of noble ladies to his lips for a brief kiss, but it was all out of propriety. He rarely touched others, but what was even rarer was others touching him. The only ones who dared were his knights, and even they only smacked his shoulder or patted his back in friendly roughhousing. Gripping each other’s arms before battle was the most heartfelt touch they exchanged. Lingering soft touches were not done. Any lingering touch on his person could be interpreted as political movements. After all, Arthur’s body wasn’t his own. It never had been. He was Camelot’s first and foremost. Even above his own needs and wants.

    Summary

    Then he tells her about the love-sea disease, drowning for someone who may not do the same. He asks her why does the sea do that, why does the sea take? Why is it so full of monsters and loss? And he pauses, remembering the citrus in the air as yellowing pages cocoon him in images of sailors’ puffy bodies with bulging, white eyes and mermaids with sand leaking from their gills. His voice wobbles to the beat of unrelenting waves beyond the kingdom.

    “Will it take me too?”

    And his mother holds him closer, opening up her chest to bury him amongst the other treasures she keeps. She promises him that the ocean would not let any of their own suffer, my little sea angel. Her chest opens further and a gleaming pearl glistens under Sanji’s admiration.

     

    The sea will always give you what you need.

     

    Sanji nods, easing the words next to Atlas. He holds it up with the weight of the sky so light on his shoulders.

    or the story of Sanji and the sea and all things in between
